IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
To the Citizens of Ipswich :
The maintenance of our public highways is a very important duty connected with the Selectmen's depart- ment with an annual appropriation of $25,000 or more to take care of over 100 miles of roads. We firmly be- lieve that for the amount expended over this territory our roads are in a very good condition. Additional work in the way of drainage has been done this year on Farley Avenue, Topsfield Road and Broadway and drainage has been completed from Washington Street under the Can- ney estate to Farley Brook. Those who were selected for work by the Unemployment Committee were given work under their direction.
The Department of Soldiers' Relief this year has been a problem for the Selectmen, never in the history of the town has this department been given any more attention. The veterans were given small allowances the Selectmen having in mind the taxpayers who have to pay the bills. While we believe that we may make some re- ductions in expenditures in some departments the coming year the expenses of the Soldiers' Relief department will show an increase. We wish at this time to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of $100 of free orders for this department from the First National Stores.
During the past year certain areas of clam flats were closed on recommendation of the Clam Commissioners which, however, did not meet with much success as there were not any seed clams to grow. Unless some action is taken regarding the propagation of clams the shell fish industry of Ipswich will be a thing of the past.
The Police and Fire Departments are making their own reports which will be found on other pages of the Town Report.
169
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
The Selectmen feel at this time that every depart- ment of the town should use strict economy in order that we may be able to keep our tax rate at the present level.
Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH F. CLAXTON, JR., EDWIN H. DAMON, J. VINCENT HUBBARD,
Selectmen of Ipswich.

During the year 1932 a number of needed repairs have been made inside the building with very little ex- pense as we have been fortunate in having as janitor of the building George E. Matheson, who, with the assis- tance of some of the Legion men, has put through the work at the cost of material only.
During the coming spring we feel it is necessary to paint the woodwork trimmings of the building outside. It will not be a very expensive job and we hope to be able
171
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
to do it without asking for any increase in our regular appropriation.
It may be a matter of interest to the citizens to know that during the ten years the patriotic orders, who use the building, have voluntarily paid to the Town towards the cost of maintenance of the building the very gener- ous sum of $9,156.
